A few people have been asking about this work, so thought i'd elaborate.

'So Far' is made from the t-shirt i was wearing when i gave birth to Ramona (albeit cleaned up).
The owl is a powerful owl that Tobias taxidermied himself, and Ramona loves it. She was carrying it around for quite some time, until finally, the head lolled so awkwardly that it nearly fell off and was making me dry retch, so i hid it.

Hayley
West & Tobias Richardson work apart for
this project; from the Blue Mountains and Ethiopia respectively. A
collaboration processed from two different everyday realities; being homebound
and travelling freely. What results is an everyday account of living and
working a month apart. Having recently moved from Darwin Northern Territory,
West & Richardson now find their feet in an awkward terrain, living
momentarily in NSW.

The transition from Darwin to the Blue Mountains has been quite difficult. Aside from trying to keep creativity up since Ramona was born, this relocation has proven to be a huge bump in my life. Thankfully we have a house with a good roof, and the magpies keep singing. If only this southern summer could rest for more than two days before all the leaves start turning.

I'm working at the moment on a sculpture for a show called 'Art of the Nomad' in Darwin in April, but really all I want to do is spend hours drawing, which is not really achievable at this point in time. Tobias's show is approaching at RAFT in Alice Springs, I can't wait to be touching the desert.
